Mate Mrva (195-F-83) put on an amazing game in the last round for Jolly and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 7.The 29-year old forward had a double-double of 33 points and eleven rebounds, while his team edged out Osjecki Sokol (#9, 2-5) 100-97. Jolly maintains the 4th position in Croatian A1. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Jolly will need more victories to improve their 4-3 record. In the team's last game Mrva had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Jolly, through which he has constantly improved.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young swingman Dino Jakolis (200-F/G-91) of Dubrovnik. Jakolis impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 19 points and 19 rebounds. Bad luck as Dubrovnik lost that game 77-90 to the higher-ranked Djuro Djakovic (#3, 4-3). Dubrovnik is still in a red zone at 10th spot in the standings. 6 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Dubrovnik managed to get this year. Jakolis is a newcomer at Dubrovnik and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was Bruno Sundov (221-C-80, agency: Alti Sport) of Osjecki Sokol (#9). Sundov scored 20 points and grabbed eleven rebounds (!!!). Despite Sundov's great performance Osjecki Sokol lost 97-100 to the higher-ranked Jolly (#4, 4-3). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Osjecki Sokol can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 2-5 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Too bad for Sundov he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Sundov has individually a great season in Croatia. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.5ppg (7th best) and rebounds with 8.3rpg (#1 in league).

The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
